Happy 5th Birthday Diana! She adores Hannah Montana so of course that's the kind of birthday she wanted to have. I made this guitar cake, we gave the girls at the party makeovers, while the boys made guitars. Then we played a musical chair kind of game with Hannah Montana's music and pin the microphone on Hannah Montana. All of the kids "pumped up the party"and were true "Rock Stars"!

Here is Hannah Montana herself-surrounded by all of her fans!

We took a family drive to the Uintas to see the fall leaves, however there is so much beetle rot that there wasn't very much color. We were pretty disappointed, but we did get some cut pictures of Diana. (Becca had fallen asleep )

One more birthday picture- Diana's friends thought it would be funny if they shoved her face in her cake. She was a good sport and proudly showed off her chocolate gotee.

We went to the zoo and one of the kids favorite things was the baby and mommy elephant.

Drew, Aunt Heather, and Aubrey on the Carosel.

This Orangutan loved Diana. He came right up to the window to see her. A large crowd gathered and after awhile I told Diana to move down so the other kids could see. Everytime she moved down to another window the Orangutan would follow her and stare at her. She thought it was fun and kept saying, "Hi Orangutan!"

Here we all are on the Zoo Train Ride!

Brian, Becca, and Diana at Yellowstone National Park.

Diana eating as fast as she can in the Watermelon eating contest at Heritage Park.

II had a conference for work in Cody, WY so I brought the family and we turned it into a vacation.

Me and the girls at Yellowstone Falls.

This is Caitlyn's attempt at the Watermelon Eating contest!

Here are the girls at the Salt Lake Aquarium.

Diana and Becca running in the fountains at a park in Las Vegas. We went there to watch their cousin Aliza perform in "Suessical".

Diana enjoyed the petting zoo area at Heritage Park.

Becca and Caitlyn enjoyed the pony rides at Heritage Park.

We had a fund day at the water park Cowabunga with Aunt Heather, Uncle Dave and Drew.

What's summer without enjoying some icecream!

Becca likes to help in the kitchen! What's for breakfast?

For Caitlyn and Becca's birthday's we had a horse theme and we took the girls horse back riding.

Diana and Rebecca did some water color painting, it looks like Becca decided to paint herself a mustache! These girls are so silly. One day I came into the kitchen and they were standing on chairs up to the counter with a large mixing bowl and spoons. They claimed to be making dinner and had a concoction of bananas, peanut butter, crackers, and water mixed in the bowl!

Another day we brought the girls with us to help Bryan with one of the buildings he cleans at night. This building has a lot of offices in it. We set up a movie for the girls and Bryan started cleaning the bathrooms while I vacuumed. Next thing we know, Becca is running down the hall with no pants or diaper on! Bryan and I started our search, and sure enough we found her diaper, pants and a pile of poop on the floor in one of the offices!

This is Caitlyn with her friend Reagan. They had a 4th grade performance about the history of Utah, with speakers, singing and dancing. Caitlyn had a speaking part and she did really well.

The girls were lucky enough to dye Easter Eggs twice with Grandma Martin. They are going to be pros!

The girls also loved the Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Martin's house with all of the cousins!

The girls got to dye Easter Eggs again at our house with Caitlyn. We got to use these eggs for an Easter Egg Bash at Grandma Martin's house that was really fun!

Here are the three sisters in their new Easter dresses. We had a wonderful Easter together as a family. Caitlyn said this was the best Easter and her favorite part was making Resurrection Cookies.

Halloween and Christmas

2008-12-28T20:20:00.000-08:00

This year we had our annual family Halloween party at our house this year. We had a pot luck of goulish foods and played some festive games. Pictured below are the family members that attended... in costume of course... I'm the witch and Bryan is the redneck hick (Bryan joked that these costumes matched our personalities- Ha, Ha!) Becca is the little mouse inside the cheese and Diana is unrecognizable decked out in her "shopper lady" attire.

Grandma and Grandpa Sinclair were able to make it and we were so glad!

Diana and Becca had a lot of fun making cookies for Santa.

We went to Mom's Christmas Day and they had tons of snow! The kids loved playing in it. This is Diana's attempt at a snow angel.

Caitlyn and Diana had a lot of fun sledding, Caitlyn even "surfed" down the hill on one of the sleds.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Love, The Davis Family

In No Particular Order...

We went camping with Bryan's family in the Uinta's during Labor Day weekend. One day while we were there, we hiked up to Provo Falls with our good friends Garrett and Cynthia and their family. This is a spot Bryan and Garrett had taken me and Cynthia when we were dating. Wow- how time flies!

Diana had her 4th birthday! We had a carnival party with lots of carnival games and Grandma and Grandpa Martin brought their bouncy house. Diana was really excited to get her first bicycle!

Bryan and I moonlighting as carnival stars!

We went to East Canyon Resort with Mom and Mike for a few days. It was a fun place to spend time with the family swimming, playing shuffle board and barbequeing. Diana and her cousin Aubrey are giving miniature golf a try.

Our family also went to Lagoon. Becca was so brave. She wanted to keep up with her older sisters and would try any ride they went on.

Diana started pre-school at Buttons and Bows. She loves coloring and doing show and tell. She feels like such a big girl with her Dora backpack.

Becca is such a character. She brings a lot of laughter into our home.

These are mommy's little helpers. What would I do without them?

JULY UPDATE

2008-07-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

We moved into our new house at the beginning of June- yea!!! There are still projects around the house that need finished but we are so excited to be living in our new home! Here are some pictures of what our family has been up to the past couple of months.

My sister Shannon and her husband Seth lost their son Charles Farrell Hossfield on June 26, 2008. He died from complications with HLHS (a heart condition), he was just 8 months old. They are great examples of strength and faith in our Heavenly Father's plan. We know Charlie is with his Heavenly Father and we will see him again someday.

Earlier in June we celebrated Caitlyn's 9th birthday and Rebecca's 1st birthday. Caitlyn wanted a fairy theme so we had a fairy cake and all of the kids decorated their own fairy wings. Rebecca had a teddy bear cake, it was the same cake my mom made me for my 1st birthday and Diana's 1st birthday.

In July we went to the Sinclair family reunion with my side of the family. We had a great time visiting with family and participating in the activities. We got to go horseback riding, canoeing, swimming, rock cllimbing, play paint ball, go shooting, etc. Caitlyn was even brave enough to dance in the talent show and did a great job. It was a fun vacation!

This is Rebecca riding a little pony.

This is me and Becca in the Bouncy House.

Diana's trying out the gunny sacks, getting ready for the big race.

Me, Bryan, and Caitlyn tried out the Rock Climbing Wall.

Caitlyn and Bryan went for a horseback ride. Bryan's horse was really stubborn but Caitlyn looked like a natural.

Diana had a turn on the little pony.

SPRING 2008

2008-05-20T14:03:00.000-07:00

Charlotte (Bryan's sister) and Roy literally tied the knot on Saturday. It was a very nice ceremony and Caitlyn and Diana enjoyed being waitresses by helping serve the cake.

We visited baby Charlie in the hospital at the end of April. He sure seemed to love playing with the kids in the crib.

Caitlyn is our little soccer star. She enjoys playing forward and goalie.

On May 13th, Diana had her first dance recital. She did tap, ballet, and gymnastics.

We went to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa Martin, Shannon and Seth, Aubrey, Heather, Dave, Gavin, and Aunt Jennifer.

One night I made cookies with my two little bakers. Diana got to lick the beaters, but Becca got worn out and fell asleep on the job.

Diana got to race in our Pinewood Derby since she faithfully comes to scouts with her mom every week, (she can even recite the Cub Scout Promise!) Her dad helped her make a blue truck carrying lumber and a ladder in the back. It wasn't the fastest, but she won the Judges Choice Award.

The girls have such a love for each other!

Here is the most recent picture of our little family.

OUR NEW HOUSE

2008-04-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

These are pictures of our house we're building. It is getting closer to getting done, but there is no move in date yet! These pictures were taken in February.

This the the back of the house where the futre deck will be.

This is the girls bathroom. Bryan isn't a big fan of the bright blue paint, but I plan to decorate it with a sea shell theme.

This the the tub in the master bathroom. Bryan is looking forward so a nice hot soak in there when he's finished with all of his hard work on the house!

This is the custom shower with two shower heads. Bryan did an amazing job on the tile!

This is a view of the kitchen ceiling- nice and vaulted with a hickory beam. I don't know how were going to change the light bulbs in that ceiling fan!

This is a close up of our dirty kitchen tile.

This is a view as if you were coming in the door from the garage. You're looking at the future kitchen with an island and the dining room.

This is the hickory hard wood floor in the front entry.

This is the stairway up to the loft.

This is the view into the house from the front entry.
